Mobile health (mHealth) could offer unprecedented opportunity to provide medical support closer to the users. We have selected some relevant criteria to describe 100 apps from Google Play store and Apple's App Store's top suggestions in medical category. These characteristics were compared based on the paid or free nature of the apps, the target users: consumers or healthcare professionals, and the platform: Android or iOS. Seventeen provided functionalities and 27 medical subjects covered by these apps were also extracted. Our study shows that even in top rated mHealth apps, a high proportion lacks some basic criteria regarding the quality of the apps including the presence of a privacy policy, describing content sources, participation of the target users in the app development, etc. Paid apps did not ensure better quality compared to free apps. The current mHealth market is not mature enough to be used widely and recommended by healthcare professionals.
